But what is a Quarter Auction?

A quarter auction involves local businesses and direct sales vendors donating products and services for a charity to auction off.

Attendees bid on the items, with this part being a mix between an auction and a raffle. They’re advised how much they need to bid based on the item’s value – this can be as low as a quarter or as high as a dollar – with no obligation to bid on any items.

A random number is then drawn in a raffle, with the person who has that number winning the item, but only if they’d actually bid on the item. If they hadn’t bid, another number is drawn until there is a winner who’d actually bid on the item.
